[D] The AI training market is broken. Here’s why.

$10.5B industry, yet 94% of companies say employees lack AI skills (Gartner 2025).

Why are we selling courses when we need assessments?

On one hand there’s providers that offer courses for up to $400 with no real indicator of whether you’ve learned anything. On the other there are certificates for as little as $15 that are awarded for only watching a series of courses, without any factual evaluation system. When it comes to corporate trainings, the same problem emerges. Companies offer up to $50k for company wide training and certificates. The problem is that attendence ≠ competence.

Is there a way for people to certify their existing skills without having to pay a small fortune or listen to a course that teaches them things they already know?
